If the indicator flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside indicator
light bulb.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is in
RUN , the seat belt reminder
light will light up for a few
seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, you will hear
an acoustic signal if one or both front
seat belts are unbuckled.
After the bulb check or while driving,
if a seat belt is unbuckled, together
with the acoustic signal the seat belt
reminder light will light up and a
message will indicate which belt is not
fastened.
WARNING!
Maserati urges you to use the seat
belts correctly fastened and adjusted
at all times. Correct use of the seat
belts can help reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of an
accident. Do not pass seat belts over
sharp edges. They could tear. Do not
pin anything to the seat belts. This
could reduce their initial strength and cause them to tear in the event of a
crash.
